Tamale Parties in the West.

The newest feature of social life in the extreme West is ''tamale" parties. The ''tamale" is Mexican invention.
 The eatable portion is composed of coarsely mashed chicken and sort of dressing make of corn meal, raisins,
 pepper and olives. A small quantity of this mixture-enough to make aroll about the size of an ordinary ear of Indian corn-is then covered with corn meal batter and rolled up in clean corn shucks. The shucks are firmly tied at each end, and the tamale then looks like a big ear of corn in the husk. A quantity of tamales so constructed are then put into a kettle and boiled. When done it will be found that on opening out the corn-husks the tamale IS enveloped in corn-meal crust and looks like small pudding boiled in a bag. Most Americans like the dish from the start. When properly made t is very appetizing.-Chicago Ne'0S.

GIRLS IN DURANCE.
A Brazilian Custom Which Would Find Nc
 Favor in This Country.

A Brazilian Custom Which Would Find No
 Favor in This Country.
 The typical American girl has often Oeen censured for too great freedom ot manner. People disposed to criticise have declared that the social freedom enjoyed by her has detracted from her modesty of mien. If she is forward, however, she may point to her South American sisters as examples of an op- posite mode of culture. A traveller in Brazil was one day entertained by a middle-aged couple, who led the con- versation to marriage.
 The lady asked if the guest were pos sessed of a wife. When he replied in the negative, she enlarged upon the de- lights of married life, saying, at the same time, that she had five unmar- ried daughters. This was broad hint, which the visitor could scarcely ignore altogether He therefore expressed a polite wish to make the acquaintance of the damsels. The wife looked in- quiringly at her husband, and he pres ently rose, unlocked door, and dis appeared within a dark chamber. He returned almost immediately, however, saying: 'The girls are not accus- toned to seeing strangers, and are afraid.
 The hostess thereupon disappeared within the room, whence sounds of whispers and giggling presently issued. When she returned she led a modest looking girl of eighteen or nineteen years, and was followed by three others, all of whom seemed to be over whelmed with intense shyness and a hvsterical desire to laugh. After a formal introduction they were hustled away; and the key was once more turned upon them.
 "Why do you lock them in?" asked the guest.
 'It is the custom of our country, " returned his host. q have never thought of bringing up my daughters in any ether way"
 But do they never go out?
 No, never" was the reply. "They learned to ride when they were child ren, but since then they have been shut up in the house. where they will remain until husbands have been ob- tained for them"
 Doubtless the daughters of more northern latitude might object so fore ibly to such incarceration that it could never become custom. Youtbs Conn Ddl1iOn.

COCOA AND CHOCOLATE.
Introduction of the Latter Into Europ
 by the Spanlsh Monks.

Introduction of the Latter Into Europe
 by the Spanish Monks
 The fashionable doctors who now and then set their faces against tea and coffee are wont to prescribe choco- late and cocoa. Now chocolate was the first discovery Fernandez Cortez made in Mexico before he found gold.
 It is made from the seed of the cocoa plant. prepared with sugar and cinna- mon, and its nutritious element is due to the oil and butter it contains. The choice of form is large; if you decide on cocoa nibs, the seeds are merely rough crushed; if the seed is pressed between rollers, you have flake cocoa the common kind has been reduced to a paste and pressed into cakes. There is no economy in buying the cheap kinds, for they are adulterated with lead, lard and sago, and much besides. Both in Mexico and Peru it is the fashionable drink ot womankind, and thence it made it's way to Spain. The Spanish monks in- troduced it to France, and Anne oi Austria, when she married Louis XII, made it fashionable.
 Napoleon used to take 8 mixture called choca, viz: coffee, milk and chocolate combined, but it has never been largely adopted. Linn@us called chocolate "Theobroma" ('food for the gods'D, but it is not at all digestl- ble when favored with vanilla. A simple way of making chocolate is as follows: Break it in small pieces into the chocolate pot with cold milk place it on the fire, stirring it all the time till it becomes thick, then serve with boiling mi lk, or better still' whipped cream
 Cocoa nibs require cold water poured over them, and to be simmered three or four hours, removing the fatty scum that rises to the surface. A cocoa paste is sold which saves trouble, merely requiring to be mixed in cur of hot water, but in this form adultera ton is difficult to detect. The cocoa tree has been imported from Mexico to most parts of Central America, Brazil Peru. Venezuela, Surinam and the West Indies Isles. The seed pods arc gathered when ripe, and the seeds hay ing been removed, are ''sweated, a' it is called-that is, laid on shelves and shut up for forty-eight hours, till all the pulp disappears and they art properly dried. The husks are re moved; they are then roasted, and subsequently, ground or reduced t' paste according to their special use. = CaSseWS Family Magaziree.
